   Saute 1 chopped medium onion in 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp melted butter over medium heat until onions become soft.

   Lower to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook for 15-20 minutes.

   Meanwhile, toss the remaining kernels from the 6th ear of corn with 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of sea salt. Lay the corn you tossed on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

6. 6

   Bake corn in preheated 400 degree oven for about 15 minutes, until golden. Let cool.
